I'm looking to buy a new air fryer and this one from Target looks good. The only thing is, it shows the capacity as 800g.

To compare this to other air fryers, how much is 800g in litres?
Air Fryer Volume, Grams Vs Litres

That's a lot more than 800mL
Yes your conversion is correct, but it's not relevant to this product. I boil water in a kettle personally
@jugsy: Do you live at altitude? that will affect the decimal system and how long it takes to boil a .8 of kilo of water in an air fryer.
Ask your kids how to spell "liter" properly.

lee-tree is correct!

Error, grams isn't a measure of volume
Error, grams isn't a measure of volume
The food item shown is chips. Are chips sold in litres? No, they're sold in (kilo)grams. I buy mine in 900g packets. So saying it will air fry a certain weight is a lot more useful than telling you it will air fry a certain volume.
Most of the things you are likely to want to air fry in it are sold and consumed by weight. What use would it be telling you what volume of them you can fit in. Liquids are sold by volume. You don't air fry liquids. As illogical as it is to measure the capacity of an air fryer by weight rather than volume, if its a a small air fryer that is obviously too small for say a whole chicken, only for things like chips, its actually a lot more useful to the person who's going to use it.
Despite the fact foods are usually sold in weights, it still makes more sense to talk in volume. Chips aren't a standard density or shape, so saying it has 800g weight capacity is mostly useless unless it's actually a structural weight limit of the fryer, i.e. it will collapse if loaded with 900g of food.
A little google-fu shows multiple other air fryers advertised as being able to cook 800grams or 4 litres.
I found the answer here by using Google Lens to look up the same model sold under another name https://us.amazon.com/TOBOX-Electric-1500W-Air-Fryer/dp/B07C…
This one was 3.8 quarts which is 4.3 litres
Yo heads up, there might be a mix up between Liquid Quart vs Dry Quart. Don't as me why there are two separate measurements…
3.8 Liquid quarts is 3.6 Litres.Also that link you posted actually states this: Frying Basket Capacity: 3.6L
Being an imperial measurement, it's probably the volume of chicken wings vs the volume of beer that the king was about to eat/drink in 15 minutes.
Ask your kids to convert this
1 liter of water weights 1,000 grams.
